Jwarichi bhakri recipe - Jolada rotti - Jowar roti - Sorghum flatbread

Jwarichi bhakri recipe  - Today I am sharing an easy version of making jwarichi bhakri recipe of Maharashtra. This bhakri is similar to bajre ki roti which I have posted earlier.  This quick to prepare roti is made by adding the flour to  boiling water and then knead to a soft dough which is very easy to roll as roti. Making bhakri by kneading the dough in cold water and then flattening it from the hand is time consuming and messy. This method saves time and the preparation is an enjoyable task. 

Jwarichi bhakri goes well with zunka, vangi bharta, bharli vangi, usals, spicy sabzis, yogurt chutneys and pickles. I make roti often for dinner, hot roti is a healthy and guilt free dish to serve and in comparison it is a low carb flatbread. This is called as jolada rotti in Kannada and is a popular flatbread of North Karnataka. Try and enjoy the bhakri by following this easy method and serve the dish to your family.
